He says she can't be left alone any longer, presumably in case she does something daft or dangerous. So now they have carers in so he can get some rest and a break instead of spending every waking hour with her. Nothing about nursing care. I'd guess it's more like child-minding. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That stage of dementia can be the worse - the person is still physically active but is a risk. When my grandparents got diagnosed both had already virtually lost the ability to the walk before hand so we didn't experience that with them but my great uncle had to be locked in by his wife to stop him escaping (he like my grandparents ended up in a nursing home by the end). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,593 Posted March 28, 2019 This link. I dislocated my ankle over the weekend and was in a ward opposite a woman with dementia and from say 5pm she would become very repetitive and anxious and it was rather depressing to watch and exhausting to talk to her. Sweet lady but you could tell she wasn't with it. I had to have ear plugs when I slept because otherwise you would be hearing various noises come from the lady about how lonely and lost she was - even though her son had come to visit an hour before but she thought it was her husband. From sounds of it she may have a year or two left if she doesn't have a nasty fall or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
